The alliance of humans and renegade Fhrey is fragile - and about to be tested as never before. As the Fhrey overlords marshal their army and sorcerers to crush the rebellion, old loyalties will be challenged while fresh conspiracies will threaten to undo all that Persephone has accomplished.

Excellent. Was sorry it ended

This is the way the world ends. For the last time. A season of endings has begun. It starts with the great, red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal and long-dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Great book...but audible app still suckd

Great book. Loved it...only distraction was the audible app but since thats a HUGE part it makes for a lower score. publish o n an app more worried about the user then the ads and id give 5 star

Starts out as a typical coming of age story but grows into an unexpected story of epic scale with multiple characters fleshed out well. The key antagonists are a bit cleche but it doesnt really distract enough to ruin the story.

loved the first book but seemed the author went over the top trying to be confusing. Flashbacks are always messy but add in shapshifting and multiple idetities and all to often I just found it all overly complex.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well. Then one night Minalan is forced to pick up his mageblade again to defend his adopted home from the vanguard of an army of goblins bent on a genocidal crusade against all mankind. And that was the good news.

Teenage fantasy

Reads like a wet dream. Granted it is fantasy but really wish Audible would classify this kinda book as Romance\Erotica instead of SciFi.

Has Spellmonger turned you off from other books in this genre?

I never like the romatic\erotica genre so I cant say it im turned off. But I am getting pretty tired of Audibles idea of SCIFI\Fantasy so perhaps I am beginning to get tired of the audible defined genre.

Have you listened to any of John Lee’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Ok hes easy to listen to and he expresses the story well.

What character would you cut from Spellmonger?

The Protaganist and the endless line of women hes either having sex with, trying to avoid having sex with or thinking about why he would or wouldnt have sex with.

The reader over exagetates EVERYTHING. nearly impossible to keep track of who is speaking. Reader will switch to a whisper or emphasis a word at random. Things that sound dramatic and important are just commentary. Might be a good story but after 4 attempts I cant keep track. 7 hours in and constant whispering of the reader has driven me to stop....again.
